What is Oocyte Freezing and Why Choose Ferticare IVF Asist for Oocyte Freezing?

Oocyte freezing, also known as egg freezing, is a groundbreaking fertility preservation technique that allows women to store their eggs at a younger age for future use. This process is especially beneficial for those who want to delay pregnancy due to personal, professional, or medical reasons. By freezing eggs during the peak reproductive years, women can safeguard their fertility and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy later in life. At Ferticare IVF Asist, we offer advanced oocyte freezing services with a focus on personalized care and cutting-edge technology.

Who Should Consider Oocyte Freezing?

Oocyte freezing is an excellent option for:

Women who are not ready for pregnancy but want to preserve their fertility options.

Women who want to delay childbearing

 Whether due to career goals, education, or personal circumstances, freezing your eggs allows you to plan for the future without compromising your fertility.

Women undergoing medical treatments

For those facing cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, oocyte freezing offers the chance to preserve fertility before treatment begins.

Women with a family history of early menopause

Oocyte freezing can be a proactive step for those at risk of early menopause, preserving eggs while fertility is still optimal.

How Does Oocyte Freezing Work?

The oocyte freezing process at Ferticare IVF Asist involves several steps, each carefully managed by our experienced team:

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with our fertility specialists. We evaluate your overall health, reproductive history, and discuss your goals and expectations for oocyte freezing.

Ovarian Stimulation

To maximize the number of eggs retrieved, you will undergo ovarian stimulation with fertility medications. This process typically lasts 10 to 14 days and involves regular monitoring through blood tests and ultrasounds.

Egg Retrieval

Once the eggs have matured, they are retrieved through a minimally invasive procedure. Under mild sedation, a thin needle is used to collect the eggs from the ovaries. The procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort.

Vitrification and Storage

The retrieved eggs are immediately frozen using a technique called vitrification, which rapidly cools the eggs to prevent ice crystal formation. The vitrified eggs are then stored in liquid nitrogen at ultra-low temperatures, where they remain viable for years.

Future Use

When you are ready to use your frozen eggs, they can be thawed, fertilized with sperm, and transferred to the uterus through In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF). The success rates for pregnancy using frozen eggs are comparable to those with fresh eggs.

Oocyte freezing is ideal for women who want to delay childbearing due to career, education, or personal reasons, women undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy that may affect fertility, and those with a family history of early menopause.

The process involves stimulating the ovaries with fertility medications to produce multiple eggs, retrieving the mature eggs through a minimally invasive procedure, and freezing them using vitrification to prevent ice crystal formation.

Eggs can be stored indefinitely in liquid nitrogen without losing viability. The success of future pregnancies depends more on the age of the eggs at the time of freezing than the duration of storage.

The optimal age for oocyte freezing is during your late 20s to early 30s, when egg quality and quantity are at their peak. However, women in their late 30s can also benefit from the procedure.

The success rates of pregnancy using frozen eggs are similar to those with fresh eggs. The chances of a successful pregnancy depend on the number and quality of eggs frozen and the woman’s age at the time of freezing.

Yes, oocyte freezing is a safe procedure. The egg retrieval process is minimally invasive, and the freezing process is well-established and effective.
